Weekend

So we had the kids this weekend and it was wonderful up until about 7 pm Saturday night. We had been gone all day with the kids. We went to Orem for our neices birthday party at a rollerskating rink. On our way home Hannah gets a text from their mom saying they are not moving but staying in Price. WHAM! Smiles gone from Chad and I and the kids are cheering! Good for them. They have friends there and school. Chad and I looked at each other and I started to cry like a little baby. At that moment I realized how much I love those kids and how much I was looking forward to having them closer so we could spend more time with them. I was so angry at their mom for doing this to Chad! For 3 years she kept telling us that once she was done with school they would move back up this way. Our hopes were high that they would move to Draper or Sandy. Not only does she get them every Christmas (which I think is total crap) but we only get them twice a month. We dont see them during the week. Half the time we dont get to talk to them. During the summer she is switching weekends and we only see them once a month. Its hard being a step mom but sometimes I want to beat some sense into that woman. The kids have missed the last 2 weeks of school cause she had to do some things for school here in Salt Lake so she took them out cause her school was more important. Seems that she is more important than those kids. I have no idea what she is thinking. The kids need braces but she put them on herself instead! I am so sad for those kids. They miss their dad and we miss them. It breaks my heart for Chad. Our weekend was ruined once again. Hopefully something good happens soon.

American Idol!

So Chad and I have been into American Idol since season 6. It is now Season 8 and wow is it getting exciting. We of course have our favorites and mine is the Gokey guy. We also have our dislikes who was actually voted not to stay last night and that was Tatiana. Oh my gosh was she annoying. She had a really good voice but I wanted to shoot her when she was not singing cause she couldnt shut up. It was really exciting cause they brought back 8 wildcards(people who were not voted by the people to stay to fight for a spot in the top 12) and they sang and only 3 were going to be chosen to be in the top 12 but suprise to everyone they made it a top 13 cause they thought Anoop was awesome as well as the other 3 they chose. I cant wait till next week. Also dancing with the stars starts next week so that will be exciting as well. I cant wait.

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

I know I know, its been forever since we posted anything. Things have been crazy. I have decided to go to school. I am going to be a CNA and if I like that then I will get my LPN license. I got a job at a Home Health agency and I like it so I decided to get a CNA license. Its going to be great.
Chad and I had a wonderful Valentines. Brooke, the wonderful, loving and giving sister that I have got us a room at the Marriott and she decorated it with a ton of candy, chocolate covered strawberries, rose petals on the bed and a bouquet of daisies. It was so nice of her. I however got the stomach flu that night so I really didnt have a good night. I just wanted to be home in my own bed. But it was so sweet of Brooke and I am so thankful to have a sister like her. She makes me want to be a better person. I love her so much and think she is the best sister ever.
In January we had to put our dog Moose down. We think he got parvo. It was a mess. He wouldnt eat or get up to go outside. After a couple of days we took him to the vet and that was the outcome. It was sad but we know he is no longer in pain.
On our Anniversary I had the feeling we needed to the Humane Society so we went and we found Herbie. He is half Chihuahua and half Dachsund. He has been a handful but we like him.
So not much else is going on. We are really excited cause the kids will be moving to salt lake this summer. Their step dad got a job in Draper so once their mom finished school in May they will be moving so much closer. We cant wait cause we will be able to see the kids a whole lot more. It will be wonderful.

Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! We love you all!

Rewind

Its been 3 years and Chad and I are still so happy together. Some people dont know but we met online. Its crazy how time flies. We actually ran to Vegas and eloped. Although my brother and sister and mom were there. We didnt even tell his kids. But later we had an open house so Hannah could be the flower girl. We were married on February 4th. Its coming up so if anyone has any ideas on what we can do for our Anniversary then throw them my way.

Bummer Thursday!

Today was a horrible day. I lost my job due to slow business. If anyone knows of anyone hiring right now pass it my way. Thanks. :(

November

Its been a while since we have posted anything. That is because not much is going on with us. However here is a little update. We had the kids for Halloween this year and we had alot of fun. It was suprisingly warm too. Hayden was a court jester and Hannah was a Pirate maiden. I was a fat irish guy in a qilt. Chad wore a jason mask. lol. The kids got plenty of candy and chad and I raided their candy before they went home. I am sure Hannahs candy is all gone by now. Hayden would keep his for years if his mom would let him. He counts it everyday. He is funny.
This year we are going to Colorado for Thanksgiving again. I am so excited too. I love it there and its nice to take a few days and get out of town. We are taking Chads sister Sarah and her daughter with us. Now that we have the Navigator we have extra seats to fit more people. I cant wait.
Not much else is goin on here at our place. We wont have the kids until we go to Colorado so its been pretty quiet here. I am looking for a part time job and I applied at Pier 1 Imports. I should hear from them in the next few days. I really want that job cause I love that store. It is only about a mile from my house too. I work only 4 miles from home so it would be nice to have a part time job even closer.
Chad is working side jobs as usual. Things have become really slow. Plus with Christmas just around the corner, everyone is planning for that instead of fixing up their house.
I do love Chad though. He provides well for us and takes good care of me. He is a wonderful man and a terrific husband and great Father. I hope he knows how much I appreciate him and everything he does for us.
Well thats about it here at our house. Hope everyone is well. Love to all.
